I also read that he booby trapped his apartment so when the authorities came, they would be blown up..........
But, I hesistate to say this is absolutely true as there is a lot of confusion about the facts of this case at this point.

This act is beyond belief, just terrible. I see no need for anyone to own an Assault Weapon period! But even as bad as this will turn out to be, the NRA will try and blame Obama somehow.
On a side note how selfish were the parents who brought children as little as three months old from reports I have heard to this type of movie.

Yes, a terrible tragedy indeed.

I'm thinking that if everyone in the theater was carrying a fully automatic weapon there would have been less carnage.........

When are you going to figure it out, Rob? Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Although, he might have had a more difficult go if it trying to kill all of those people with a hat pin...........

So the possessed kids who attacked their school (they failed in their original plan btw, it could've been much worse) had their guns legally?

Yep. The NRA will somehow try to make the argument that the audience is at fault because they weren't all packing heat.

What happened last night is a sad shame. My heart goes out to every family. God Bless those people.
But, don't let that fool give you a mental image of gun owners in general.
I remember after a couple escaped jail in MO, (and one had killed a state trooper before), they headed though my neck of the woods. I do believe after a couple day chase through the woods with the cops doing their best to nab the last one on the run, .. it was just an average hillbilly that caught the guy, called the law and held him at gunpoint until the law came to remove him. Liberals get out of the way, others put their self in harms way to protect the innocent from further harm... but get no thanks. Don't damn every gun owner, if every gun owner had killing on his mind then the guy in my post woulda killed the escaped convict that was warned to our community as armed and dangerous soon as he walked up the steps to his mothers house in the woods. It ended well.
